Default 2008 tC Problem with adjusting projector headlights

I want to aim them down because my HIDs are really bright. I know what screw I should turn and i'm turning the crap out of it, yet the lights are not being moved at all. What am I doing wrong?

you might have unscrewed it off the threads, it can happen, had it happen to me when i attempted a retro on 07 headlights, I overscrewed the adjuster **** and started to strip the plastic threads.

I also had 08 projectors that i retro but didnt have that problem with them.

Yeah I know what screw it is. I've been the turning them like crazy and it doesn't make a difference in aiming the headlights.

it does.. trust me. Its slow.. Get about 20 feet from a wall, and turn it and youll see it slowly change.

yea you need to be at a distance from a wall. You won't see any kind of change whatsoever if you're up close to a wall trying to adjust it.
